Product catalog summary
Overview of Materials
Plastics
Turcon®: High-performance thermoplastics developed for sealing applications, based on premium-grade PTFE fluoropolymer resins. Properties are enhanced with fillers and special processing techniques.
Zurcon®: Engineered plastic-based materials including UHMW-PE and PEEK, ideal for reciprocating, slow rotating, and oscillating situations requiring high wear resistance.
Elastomers
EPDM: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber polymers with high chemical resistance, suitable for polar solvents, hot water, steam, and alkaline cleaning fluids.
NBR/HNBR: Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber, suitable for applications not exposed to harsh cleaning, ozone, or superheated steam. Performance characteristics depend on the percentage of NBR and HNBR.
Silicone (VMQ): Versatile material for a broad range of applications, offering long-term consistency in precision, quality, and performance.
FKM: Optimized Fluoroelastomer material range with good elevated temperature characteristics and compatibility with acidic CIP fluid, fatty food products, and food-grade lubricants.

TRELLEBORG SEALING SOLUTIONS EBORG Meeting the requirements for superior materials for the food and beverage industry Application Examples • Food processing • Dispensing equipment • Food packaging • Small appliances • Food preparation Range of Materials PLASTICS Turcon® Turcon® materials are high performance thermoplastics specifically developed for sealing applications. They are based on premium-grade PTFE fluoropolymer resins, with the properties of each compound achieved by the addition of fillers and special processing techniques. Zurcon® Zurcon® is the brand name for the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions range of engineered plastic-based materials including UHMW-PE as well as PEEK. Its friction characteristics mean it is ideal for reciprocating, very slow rotating and oscillating situations where high wear resistance is required. ELASTOMERS EPDM Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber polymers are fully saturated, non-polar hydrocarbon-based elastomers. Their polymer geometry gives them superior compatibility with polar fluids and polar solvents at elevated temperatures. The materials have high chemical resistance, giving long life in polar solvents, hot water and steam. In addition, they are suitable for contact with alkaline cleaning fluids. NBR/HNBR Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) is a good choice for applications where seals will not be exposed to harsh cleaning regimes, ozone or superheated steam. These materials are copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile. The percentage of NBR and HNBR in their formulations determines the materials’ performance characteristics. Silicone (VMQ) Silicone is an extremely versatile material that lends itself to a broad range of application conditions. As a liquid raw material, silicone offers advantages in processing that render it a premier choice of material for technical components where long-term consistency of precision, quality and performance is key. FKM Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has optimized the performance of our Fluoroelastomer (FKM) material range, engineering it to meet the specific criteria of the processing industry. The materials demonstrate good elevated temperature characteristics, as well as compatibility to acidic CIP fluid, fatty food products, food grade lubricants and oils.
